M45 recordman John Trautmann is brave in the mile, we know. Now he’s making another courageous move. He posted Friday on Facebook: “As some of you know, after 18 years working on Wall Street, I have decided that it is time to make a change. As exciting as the credit markets have been the last few years (not), I realize that my passion is in the sport of running and that there is no better time than now to make a change. Working with coach Gags over the few years has reignited my desire to be involved with the sport and I have decided to work as an assistant coach alongside him for the New Jersey New York Track Club. Hopefully some of his coaching genius will rub off on me. In addition to coaching NJNYTC, Tom Nohilly and I are starting a coaching service for runners of any level called Speed Club. I am creating a Facebook page and hope many of you will “like” it and check out our web page speedclub.org. We are still in the process of developing the site, but it is up and running. We will be putting up training tips and videos and will alert everyone through Facebook and Twitter. (Follow @SpeedClubNYC) Thanks in advance for taking a look!” Nice start, John. If you’re half as good at coaching as you are running, you’ll win the gold.
